While birding with Jon dunn and Brainard Palmer Ball on Dec. 2 we stopped at 
the Smiths field at Ctes Landing and walked it for a while. We did not kick up 
any Smiths but I almost stepped on a LeContes. There were several LeContes in 
the field plus the usual Savannah. I noted the lack of any Meadowlarks while we 
were there. While there we had a flock of Sandhill Cranes soaring above us with 
a large flock of Gulls, mostly Ringgers. Later I was looking for the Says 
Phoebe among the flock of Cedar Wax Wingsand Robins,  when a really strange 
looking Cedar Waxwing appeared. Its head,neck and part of the back were a 
little lighter shade then the normal color of the head and the rest of the bird 
was white. The birds were all getting water out of the slough between Cypress 
Point Resort and Bluebank.

Yesterday, I drove out to see the leucistic Least Sp. that Jeff and Mike had on 
Sat.  It really stands out. The Bald Eagles are returning to Reelfoot Lake.  We 
are having our 2nd Annual Eagle Festival on Jan. 13-14-15 2006.  The schedule 
is on my web site at www.bluebasin.com


Peace and joy in this Holiday season,
Nancy
